Welcome to the YouTube Channel of the Robotics and Perception Group led by Prof. Davide Scaramuzza. Our lab was founded in February 2012 and is part of the Department of Informatics at the University of Zurich, and the Department of Neuroinformatics, of the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich.
Our mission is to develop autonomous machines that can navigate all by themselves using only onboard cameras, without relying on external infrastructure, such as GPS or motion capture systems. Our interests encompass both ground and micro flying robots, as well as multi-robot heterogeneous systems consisting of the combination of these two. We do not want our machines to be passive, but active, in that they should react to and navigate within their environment so as to gain the best knowledge from it.
